Buy an American Vehicle!

I should go back and find the thread where people have patted themselves on the back for buying (insert the foreign automaker) vehicle because it was assembled in America. To the contrary, it was also noted that it was nice and nostalgic that some of us still make it a point to buy vehicles made by American car companies.

It seems many seemed to think there were no consequences to buying foreign vehicles.

I have to ask -- do you still think this way? Do you still feel good about yourselves? Do you still feel there was no consequences to your car buying decisions?

I buy american, but that's just me

Re: Buy an American Vehicle!

Unions, unions, unions and regulation are putting the big 3 down. When you have to compete against people with less regulation and no stupid union contracts that are unfair to the employer you are at a huge disadvantage.

Re: Buy an American Vehicle!

I have no problems with my decision to buy a foreign automakers car built in the USA. The big "3" have been making poor business decisions long enough that it is finally catching up to them. Bailing them out will only continue the cycle. Capitolism will reward companies who make a good product inexpensivly, GM, Ford, and Crylser have yet to figure out how to compete effectivly. It looks as though Japan has beat us at our own game. As for my tax dollars they don't "need" to be used to bail them out, it just might happen because the politicians are afraid to let the market correct itself.
